LA Fitness What a joke. They "rip off" After a 2 yr membership at 34 mo I decided I wanted to get a personal trainer Paid them $ 2,400 for it. In the contract was 100% refund of what ever you had not use this is if you moved more than 20 mi away from any club. I was getting married did not use but 10 sessions of the 144, When I followed the rules and asked for my money back they started to change the contract on me not only did they ripped me off but one of the trainers was using my sessions to train other members! I carried a book and made the trainers sign my book and enter the hours I used every time I came into the gym. this did not help they found out about the trainer and only offered me 14 sessions nothing else!!!!!...what a night mare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know what are the prices for a LA Fitness Signature Club (or Esporta) membership?

One opened up in Secacus, NJ a few months ago.

I joined the regular LA Fitness in Clifton, NJ online with their $0 down/ ~$7 a week offer w/o contract, but you are unable to join a Signature Club online.

Bally Total Fitness has a very old membership type that is sold on eBay sometimes that pretty much gives you the access to all US locations + Canada for free for life (yours or the company's). You just gotta get this membership transferred from one member to another, but you don't pay anything to Bally ever.

Just joined LA Fitness in Havertown, PA last week. They offered me $49 initiation fee and $29.99/mo for me....or if my girlfriend joined also, it was $99 initiation fee and $44.99/mo....Got what I felt was a pretty good deal @ 22.50/each per month.

Ah, the good old days. I just paid $20 to renew my 24 Hour Fitness membership for another year.

Want to check out LA Fitness and Powerhouse Gym using the free guest pass. What's the best way to avoid the usual high pressure sales follow-up BS? Use fake phone and junk email account? Last time I went for a tour at Bally's. They called me every 2 days to follow-up.

$450 / 3 years. 24 hours fitness is cheaper.

While most of these posts seem to involve LA Fitness check out the R.E.A.C.T. Krav Maga training center in AZ. There is no month to month but there is a 3 month plan for only $700.00, paid in advance (more than $200 a month!!) or a year contract at $121.00 a month. This place has no weight machines, pool or amenieties except for some kettle bells, punching bags and core boards. The training is ok though. We made the mistake of signing up and when taking various classes over a 2 month period, the classes we were most interested in did not have enough equipment to go around thus members had to share equipment. Furthermore, we asked to be released from the contract due to financial issues popping up, the management refused and said that we needed to pay the whole year as we were in a contract..no exceptions except if we moved more than 20 miles away. Absurd!! Steer clear as this place is pricy!!!!!

Listen. If anyone is looking to get started with LA Fitness, you need to contact me. I will hook you up. Shoot me a message or email at lafitnessmemberships@yahoo.com

I am looking for deals in the Atlanta GA metro near Roswell . I have a Bally's lifetime member ship and paying about $!5/month . However, things have gotten really bad at the Roswell Bally's facility ( broken equipment, few classes, pool often closed, filthy ) that want to go elsewhere . Any recommendations / deals

i am trying to get la fitness membership in alhambra, ca. they are offering $199 initiation fee and $35 per month with 2 guests allowed each time you come in. Do you think this is an ok deal. The thing is the main member has to come all the time so the two guests can come. It would be for my son's father, my son and me.

CLUB NAME: L.A. FitnessCITY, STATE: Vancouver, WADATE OF DEAL/OFFER: 12/30/2010PRICE: $486.88 first year (includes $175 initiation fee and $311.88 first year's dues), "Guaranteed $155 fixed annual renewal rate for life." DURATION: annual renewalEXTRAS/INCENTIVES/STIPULATIONS/COMMENTS: "Premier" membership type (good for all clubs, includes full club use, including classes)ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The fine print in the actual contract says, "It is guaranteed that your monthly membership dues will not increase for three years from the date of enrollment.", which could, technically, be considered a contradiction to the "guaranteed fixed annual renewal rate for life" that the manager indicated I would get. I tried to pay for five years in advance (to make certain the "three year" language wouldn't bite me later on) but the manager indicated that the system would only allow one additional year to be paid with this particular contract. He also said that the "three year" language is there for all contracts because it's just a standard form and that most people pay by the month. Sounds a little fishy to me, but we'll see what happens come renewal time.

It sure would be nice if the fitness clubs would provide clear contracts with exactly the language that you agreed upon with the sales person (such as "renewal rate is guranteed for life, as long as the member is paid up and in good standing..." or something similar), especially since, by the time your renewal date rolls around, the sales person will be long gone, and then it's your word of what the sales person promised against the actual verbiage of the contract. With all the problems that so many people experience with fitness clubs, they could even use this as part of their marketing and sales ("no fine print, no sleazy sales gimmicks; just good health...").

My local 24 Hour Fitness upgraded from sport to either super sport or ultra. They have towel service, and tv's on the machines. Anyhow, sport members who previously used that gym may continue to do so without upgrading. Pretty nice.

I haven't found any good deals. They do the pre-paid packages but in the long run, the savings are not significant to justify the pre-payment and you are locked in so if you move or anything happens, you are out the money. I got my gym membership via my health plan blue cross blue shield where they have set $25/month rates with major clubs like 24 and Ballys. Best of all, no contract!
